Hello. :-)

Everyone patched up and out of the slammer? Good.

It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? First dragons that were intended to end a world, now political conflicts between parties and the compelling mystery as to WHY??? the whole MISSING SUN thing, and WHO STARTED IT?? thing, etc etc. Oh- and there's also that nagging little question of what's going to happen if we do succeed in the way that we're meant to. (Insert question marks here) But forgot that for now, we can do the whole "share your multiversal anecdotes" later.

[ goblins, humans, goblin-human conflict and everything else in between. there's still fuel on the fire and a conflict and a sun missing. he's wondered if their presence here was enough to sway the tides of fate in ALASTAIR's favor, and that's left him with nothing but a sour taste in his mouth. ]

Alas, here's the thing! Despite the mission, we're still all on our own. :'( But all's not lost! I'm here to offer a little tidbit that I found rifling through some paperwork that someone oh-so-fortunately left out in the open. I just happened to be glancing over. [ "happened to." ]

There have been some very curious disappearances. 4, in particular.

Agatha Belrose
Felix Poirier
Michel Roche
Delia Favre

With all the talk of sacrifice I thought it may be preferable to find these people and, well, possibly who took them and where they've gone. You know, saving them from the whole maybe-but-we-don't-know sacrificial death thing. It sounds very unpleasant, and with a possible worrisome outcome.

[ he's never really been much of a team player, but getting the brunt of the blame if someone's sacrificed generally wasn't in his best interest. ]

Now, where to do with these names? Ideas? Comments? Concerns? I'll leave the floor open.

do we have any idea where the sacrifices take place?

[selfimage]

[ it's a Thor. ]

This is what my snooping bought me. A bit sad, I know. :'(
I feel like I've been thieved.

[ even though he was technically the one doing the thieving. ]

The whole WHERE and WHAT FOR are still lost on us.

[norse]

if there is talk of sacrifice then we ought to visit places of merit
destroyed monuments are preferable to destroyed lives. it may dissuade their captors from acting as early as they please if we stall their plans by taking away possible locations for the murders
i would not wish to inspire chaos but such has already found this realm

[ It's a strategy, maybe, and there's precious little else that can be done. Plus, everyone on both sides is already angry, what's to lose. ]

You do look very intimidating when you make your mean hammer face. We could knock down a few pillars, destroy a few statues of old people, and discourage the monotheists.
It may buy us some time. At least until this is figured out.

[ it's too bad that Thor's not there to see Loki look tickled at the prospect of ruining something. ]

[norse]

better an angry mob than a dead one, precautions are best taken than not
i don't have a hammer face

STOP

HAMMER TIME

>8O9

[norse]

yes, loki, i know that song

[selfimage]

I don't believe you.

[norse]

if you believe i know stark then you should also believe i know this song
at great length

[norse]

break it down

[selfimage]

I should have known he had something to do with your exposure to 90s music.
Did he teach you the Hammer Dance too? Or do I get that honor during our Possibly Ruin the Monuments of Old People adventure?

[norse]

i am not doing that dance
you are all very ill

[selfimage]

Ah, good. I found something that you're bad at.

[becauses]

Is there any reason to think they must be done at a certain place?

[norse]

is there any reason to think that they must not?
by the very virtue of being a sacrifice to their gods it may well prove ritualistic and a great deal of blood has already been spilled in the streets to no consequence during the brawl, they seemed to care little enough for that

[becauses]

Sacrifices may be made anywhere, with enough power.

[ The image of demolished Sky-in-Shadow is still fresh in her mind. Kahl had wiped out most of the world's largest city to summon the Maelstrom. But four people isn't an entire city... ]

Though you may be right, if the unknown kidnappers only intend to sacrifice four ordinary people.

[norse]

caution is better than inaction, i would rather look upon broken stones than broken bones

[becauses]

That isn't a bad philosophy.

I'll confess that magic works differently in our world. I don't know where to start looking for likely sites.

[norse]

if we inquire of the locals then there we may find our footing
do i know you?

[becauses]

I don't believe so.

Glee Shoth.

[ ... as the hyper-literal username suggests. The Shoth creative nicknaming genes have been directed to other areas. ]

[norse]

well met, glee shoth
i am thor odinson and the author of this broadcast is my brother, loki

[ Just to be polite, since Loki will doubtlessly be reading this. ]

[becauses]

[ Note to self: if one brother looks like magic, the other brother has a decent chance of being magic, too. ]

He hadn't mentioned you, though our conversations have been largely business.

[norse]

he has been very occupied with 90's music lately, perhaps he simply forgot about me in his excitement

[ YOU DESERVE THAT, BRO. ]
